Have wondered if the parallax knob was moving as well. Will set up to check that. Took proper steps to set the diopter to my eyes so that should not be an issue. Appreciate inputs guys.
Have a 5.5-20 that I believe may need to go to Orifino for some warrenty work. If what I describe is legit sounding let me know. I intend on having a buddy check it out as well before I act.
after setting the focus/parallax I'll send a round but the follow up to check impact is blurry as though...
Mounted a couple of the fenix (2) 123 powered(model??) handheld lights on a shotgun and ar for a nite shoot this summer. No issues however it wasn't a huge round count so take it for what it's worth. I use them for hunting now. Gonna stuff one in my turnout coat and see how long it tolerates...

100yd 8 round group out of a .338 AI lapua my gunsmith friend shot yesterday through a McGowan SS bbl. This rifle was not chambered by McGowan BTW. I've been pleased with my McGowan bbl as well, sub MOA.
Sounds like a chambering issue
69gr Nosler BTHP
24.5gr H4895
CCI 41
2.260"
mixed brass
2920fps from 18" Noveske spr bbl and adjustable GB
pressure signs aplenty going up to 26gr, backed off and have been happy with groups.
Haven't used it yet but I have a Seekins on my intermediate gas length Noveske. You might be able to make adjustments with the handgaurd in place but it doesn't look easy; the adjustments face the reciever. Fortunately my handgaurd comes off easily.
Running a PRS with wolf spring and standard rifle buffer. Very interested in running a heavier buffer or a hydraulic buffer. Hopeful improvements I'd like to see is the sprung sound minimized/eliminated and an even softer impulse. Shoot 69 or 75 gr handloads at upper end of pressure.
+1 on the Apex drop in kit. Someday I will shoot my 642 in an instinctive and accurate fashion; someday. It hasn't been easy but its such a simple, dependable rig.
Reloads are snug, don't drop quite as freely as with the factory bbl; kinda the point though really-going for accuracy as well as use of lead. LWD is just north of me 45 minutes; either way ill give them a call. As a side note the brass is getting de-bulged prior to reloading too. That redding...
Just went to run some ammo thru a new lone wolf barrel in .40 out of a G24 and had significant feed issues. Have had zero issues previously with the stock bbl fwiw. The failure to feeds appeared to be with the case head/rim and the extractor. Am I needing to look at honing that extractor angle...
Re: PMAGS in stock
However when signing back into the evaluate my order's status it reads..."This order is marked as Awaiting Payment" sounds like back order to me
Re: Seekins Precision status..
Ordered up a couple lowers; thanks for all the feedback Glen, and for not jacking up the prices. Seekins will continue getting my business.
